the carolina watchman yol xv third series salisbuet f c september 18 1s84 no 49 for the watchman mr vernon n c july 22d 1ss4 iib.j.j.bbuxe r e wrong which our esteemed citizen mr murdoch grapically and logically expose to your readers jl iu his ed tional letter is a sut us yet it is be lieved none have recognized the rath er pretty young girl who handles her part so well that she generally se cures a recall it will unquestionably be something of a surprise to some of our young men about town to know that she is none other that eva brit ton the young editress who two years and a half ago buttonholed and b?g ged them to subscribe for her paper ihe chailt ton s c hurricane at fifty cents a year but she it is her visit to the city has been accomplish ed very quietly and itisdou tful ifa dozen persons are aware of her pres cmm here her first advent into cleveland wili be recalled by hun dreds it was january 1882 she registered her name on the kennard house blotter and remained at that , hotel lor four or five weeks in the meantime she made her face famil , iar of slight delicate form a cheer ful countenance and beautiful black eves she had little difficulty in se curing an audience with whoever she approached she carried with her a ; bundle of hurricanes a little paper j published at charleston s c and ! of which she said she was the edi tress a bird's wing did you ever look at the bird's wing carefully and try to find out ; from it the way in which it was used people usually suppose either that the bird hies because it is lighter than air like a balloon or that it rows it self along as a boat is rowed through the water neither of these supposi tions are true a bird is not lie liter than the air nor does it float for when thi biid is shot on the wing it all to the ground just as quickly as a squirrel ua the contrary a liird i flies on its own weight and could not fly at all if it were not heavier than the air look at a quill-feather and you will see that on ore side of the central shat't or quill there is a broad thin portion which is called vane the vane w on the other side it is nar | row and stiff and by looking at a wing with their feathers in their places yon will iiad that they are placed so that they overlap a little like the la's on a window blind each broad vane runs under the narrow vane of the leather beside it so that when the wing is moved downward each feath er i pressed against the narrow vane of the one beside it and the whole wing is a solid sheet like a blind with the slats closed after the down i stroke is finished and the up stroke begins he pressure is taken off from the lower surface of the wing and be gins to act on the upper surface and to press the feathers downward in stead of upward the broad vanes now have nothing to suppor them and they bend down and allow the air to pass through the wing which is now like a blind with the slats open by these two contrivances â€” the shape of the wing and the shape anj ar rangement of the feather â€” the wing resists the air on its downward stroke and and raises the bird a little at each ilap but at each up stroke allows the air to slide oft at the sides and to pass thnough between the feathers so that nothing is lost truth truth is consistent tell the truth under all circumstances truth is the perfection of beauty â€” it is beauty it self success is never an accident truth will never get you into serious trouble but a falsehood will always prove itself in time it is something like the old saying about murder â€” it will out sometime truth is a living potential influence for good but a falsehood will die a natural death â€” the thousands of failures which oc cur all around us show very forcibly that more than splendid dreaming is necessary to success in any cause the man who desires wealth must be a straightforward upright truthful man so that those who trust or have deal ings with him will know that his word is as good as gold itself where there's a will there's a way â€” so runs the old proverb we have only to look around us to see how many have acquire wealth learning position and fame in fact all things around us te;:ch us that truth goes father than falsehood teach your children to always tell the truth don't make athem fear you so they would rather tell a falsehood than the truth be cause it would save them from a rep rimand children all love their pa rents and will try to please them but don't think by punishing a child too much it will make it te'l the truth fear will drive children to tell false hoods but love will teach them that to tell the truth is the easiest way out of trouble truth is always true to itself and its sublime mission among men is enorbed in the light purity and beauty of heaven american journalist your correspondent last summer made a trip to the white sulphur springs in north carolina leaving the railroad at king's mountain â€” a place celebrated in the history of the country as the place where mor gan defeated the english under tar leton during the revolutionary war from this historical battleground to the cleveland springs it is seven teen miles and to cover said distance your correspondent secured the servi ces of an old negro to drive him the african was on the shady side of 70 and quite an intelligent and talkative ward of the nation he was friend ly and kindly disposed to the south ern white people and coul i not say too much in praise of the white folks your correspondent chatted with him first upon one subject and then another,and finally asked himhow he was getting along since freedom the old man said it had been hard for him to live and but for the kind ness of his young masters he would many times have suffered lie spoke of his condition as a slave when he felt no anxiety about keeping the wolf from his door â€” when he knew that come fair or foul weather he would be cared for and right there your correspondent thougut lie would corner the old man and asked him if he would not rather be back in in his old days with his young masters to take care of him he shook his head negatively he was fond of his young masters and felt certain if he were a slave they would not consent to any servitude your correspondent pictured to him as best he could how he would go down the incline with good and true friends to take care of him and keep him from want and then pic tured the death scene of the pauper which he undoubtedly would repeat and then asked him why he would not rather return to slavery and be cared for and when death came to be properly buried he took in the whole tiling and replied with an earnestness that was commendable that there was a sort of looseness about freedom that lie would not give up for all the world now mr edi tor if you or your correspondents can give a better explanation of free dom than a sort of looseness please do so georgia capital and labor mr arp's fodder-pulling ohscrva tivns we are pulling fodder now i've hired two men to pull by the day and two to pull by the two hundred bundles i want to see which is tiie cheapest but they get me anyhow and i cant help it it they pull by the day they dont make 150 good bundles apiece which they ought to make at seventy-five cents a day and if they pull by the hundred they make over 200 bundles and some of them are mighty light bit it is all right i reckon they are watching me and 1 am watching them it is the same old story â€” capital against labor there are tricks in all trades you can count the hands in a bundle but you cant count the blades in a hand and so they can make them heavy or make them light according to pay i've hired cord wood cut by the cord and they pile it so loose that a pack of hounrls can follow a fox right through it and never touch a hair but it is no deep laid scheme to cheat you they are just sloshing along and you can settle with a dar key easier than with any creature upon the earth a mean man can pay them in bacon at fifteen cents a pound and flour at four when the cash would buy one at ten and the other at three and he can cheat them twenty live per cent in the weights and they will never know any better ami nev er care the lord never made such an easy unsuspecting creature as a free nigger there are white men who take advantage of them and cheat them and get their labor for their vittles and clothes but the darkey is sure of a living anyhow for ii he cant earn it he can steal it so it is all right anyhow and the races keep about even â€” atlanta constitution the election in maine the phila

kennedy also belongs to this opulent sisterhood nor is this all : the bulk of property now belonging to men will in time fall to women â€” the greater number of the rich men here have daughters rather than sons on the other hand in time the course of nature will swell the ever increasing number of women thrown upon themselves for self support there is nothing more interesting than to have the acquaintance of an elderly shrewd woman of fashion be fore whom generations have passed land with an eye keen to sev the drift ! of events one of these said to me i the other day : i counted sixty
